Friday, 20 Sep, 2023 0

CLIA UK & Ireland has revealed details of the 2024 conference which will be held from May 23-25 in Southampton.

It will include ship visits, conference sessions, an industry trade fair and a evening event.

For the first time, travel agents will be able to choose two ships to visit over consecutive days, from a selection of six in total.

An optional ‘New to Selling Cruise Day’ has also been added on May 22, following a successful launch in 2023.

The in-person session will combine industry and product training for agents new to cruise.

The first day will feature conference sessions and a full industry trade fair in the evening.

Both will be at Southampton-based venues.

Attendees will have the option to visit Cunard’s Queen Anne, Silversea’s Silver Dawn or Princess Cruises’ Sky Princess on day two.

A celebratory evening event will follow.

On the final day travel agents have the choice to visit MSC Virtuosa, P&O Cruises’ Iona or Fred Olsen’s Borealis.

Four of these ships, including the newly-launched Queen Anne, are appearing for the first time at a CLIA Conference.

Andy Harmer, CLIA UK & Ireland MD, said: “It will be our biggest yet, with more ships, an extended land programme and training day for agents just starting out in cruise.”

“We’re excited to confirm our popular conference mainstays will again take place, including the trade fair and evening event.”

The conference will open for registration shortly; CLIA EMBARC ID card holders will receive an exclusive discounted link to register.

Full details of the theme and keynote speakers will be announced in due course.
